Curriculum vitae
 
2368  Tain disowns his son, subordinate and agent Garak and sends him into exile to Deep Space Nine.
Tain gives up his job as the head of the Obsidian Order to retire together with his housekeeper Mila.
2371 Tain develops a plan to destroy the Dominion before it becomes a danger for the Alpha Quadrant. Therefore, he reclaims his office as head of the Obsidian Order and secretly contacts the Romulan Tal Shiar without the knowledge of the Cardassian Central Command, intending to collaborate with them. Unfortunately, the founders come to know of the plan and decide to support it.
   September Without the legitimation of their respective governments, the Romulan-Cardassian fleet of the Tal Shiar and the Obsidian Order travel to the homeworld of the founders to wipe it out. Together with Colonel Lovok from the Tal Shia, Tain is the leader of the mission. Arriving at the destination, it turns out to be trap, since Lovok is a changeling. The fleet is beaten und Tain remains badly injured on the leading ship. He is captured by the founders and put in the internment camp 371. During the next two years of his imprisonment, his physical condition visibly deteriorates.
2373 Tain submits a signal to his former student and agent Elim Garak at Deep Space Nine, informing him that he is about to die. Shortly after the arrival of Garak, he dies from cardiac problems caused by the long imprisonment.
